An 18-year old boy, Charles Okonkwo Jr. has been arrested and arraigned for the murder of his 15-year old brother, and for assaulting his mother.
The boys' 62-year-old father called 911 Saturday after he found his wife and son lying motionless. His wife, Chinwe Okonkwo, was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital in serious condition. Officers found the older son near his green BMW not too far from the home.
Pearl says there is no identified motive for the assault yet. He said there was “some psychiatric issues with the defendant.”
Pearl told the judge that Okonkwo Jr. admitted to police that he hurt both his mother and brother.
Okonkwo Jr. may face additional charges pending the outcome of his brother’s autopsy. He is due back in court on July 24.
